BookMarks - Enhanced 1.1 v1.1

Release Notes

BookMarks was primary made to bookmark an elgg page. As i didn't find how to create a bookmark pointing somewhere else in the world, as i didn't find the way to easily create a bookmark that have to belong to a group, and as i was frustrated not to be abble to set associated wide categories, i decided to modify slightly the bookmark plugin. Is it bad ?

This is much more a tweak than a pluggin, 99,99% of the original bookmark plugin is here, nothing is modified, just a few things added:

Menu: add a link to create an "empty" bookmark in the subemun columns. This way you will be abble to create "The community bookmark", and fill the url with http://community.elgg.org/ . A must have. Works with group menu and user menu.

Form: Add the wide categories input. You can now set the relevant categorie of your bookmark.

Presentation: Add the categories set, if any.

With this plugin, elgg can be more turned to a social bookmarking system.

To use:

Deactivate the original bookmark plugin.(security measure)

Rename the bookmark folder to something like "bookmark_original"(security measure)

Hi, I have just installed this whole site in a folder on my site. Everything else works apart from the bookmarks which, when I click to share a website, just takes me to the front page of my site, not to the folder.

Usually, this has to do with the level of permissions on the resource. If the permissions are too high (in other words, you don't have the right to view that resource), then it will redirect you back to the home page.

What you could try to do, as a test, is install it on a sub-domain and see if you have any problems. Then it is root-like in installation. I usually have my Elgg sites on sub-domains and they work great.

@1stAngel - You should have a control panel with your hosting. Basically, you go in to where you manage your domains and create a sub-domain, pointing to the folder where you have your elgg software. It may be /var/www/html/ufos/ or something like this: /home/YOURUSERID/domains/galileowasright.com/public_html/ufos/, depending on your hosting set-up. So, if you chose let's say community as the subdomain and pointed it to the path of your Elgg software, then you would be able to go to http://community.galileowasright.com and perform your installation. Then it acts as if it is root and you don't need to make any other adjustments.

Have tried original Bookmarks and also enhanced 1.1. Have same problems as described by @1st Angel - when I click on bookmark to visit the bookmarked site it goes to Front page . Permissions are set at 755 (folders) and files at 644. Using Elgg 1.7.1 Have tried reinstalling plugs ins with no success.

Note that @1st angel site is on Wordpress - presumably gave up on Elgg

I'am R&D engineer in a standardisation organisation. We use Elgg as the internal Company directory. As i really love the nice modeling approach of this tool, i made several plugin both for my company and the community.
